Femonationalism, gendered anti-Muslim racism and reproductive anxiety: Perspectives from the United Kingdom and Germany
Focussing on two different Western European nation states, the United Kingdom and Germany, we explore the apparent paradox of liberal feminist support for right-wing and authoritarian populist parties. First, we explore the wider political context of anti-migrant and anti-Muslim neo-nationalist discourse within which this paradox occurs. Second, while critical scholarship has often focused on far-right ‘populism’, this obscures the role that cent…
The Burden of Conviviality: British Bangladeshi Muslims Navigating Diversity in London, Luton and Birmingham
This article considers the convivial turn in migration and diversity studies, and some of its silences. Conviviality has been conceptualised by some as the ability to be at ease in the presence of diversity. However, insufficient attention has been paid to considering who is affectively at ease with whose differences or, more particularly, what the work of conviviality requires of those marked as other vis-a-vis European white normativity. Drawin…

Veiled Threats: Representing the Muslim Woman in Public Policy Discourses
The book looks at how ‘the Muslim woman’ is socially constructed through an analysis of contemporary racialized and gendered policy narratives in the UK. It is focused on Prevent, the UK’s counter-terrorism agenda, established after the London bombings in 2005. It examines specific initiatives to ‘empower Muslim women’ to combat terrorism. It also considers how Muslim women are positioned within broader debates about multiculturalism, integration…
Just a Girl: Thinking Intersectionally about ‘the Muslim Girl’ and Writing against Culture
This article is based on empirical work which examined the inclusion of women and girls in the UK’s Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) agenda. It focuses specifically on a road show designed to raise the academic aspirations of Muslim girls in order to improve Muslim women’s performance in the labour market. It begins by illustrating how global development discourses of girls’ empowerment (the ‘Girl Effect’) permeate the rationale for the road sh…
Giving the silent majority a stronger voice? Initiatives to empower Muslim women as part of the UK's 'War on Terror
This article provides a gendered analysis of the 'War on Terror' in the UK context. Specifically it looks at initiatives to empower Muslim women, which were part of New Labour's Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) agenda, the impetus for which stemmed from the idea that, as 'the silent majority', women need to be given a 'stronger voice'. Based on analysis of qualitative interviews, this article situates these initiatives within a broader policy l…
